The jumps weren't ready to ride yet, but we tried anyways.

It's not fifty feet.

We tore the fifty footer down because to many kids got hurt trying to hit it.

Ya, I said we had to tear it down, thus why there are no pics of it.

The big one is maybe 25 feet.

Damn, that's pretty nice. I can see why you would want brakes to ride there..

I don't have any trails, except one jump in my back yard I started last year, but didn't finish. A tree fell on top of it, maybe I'll just build the landing on the other side and try to jump over it..

That would be cool, how big was it.

The gap was going to be maybe 7 feet.. it'll have to be a little bigger, and more height with the tree there. I suck at riding, but I do know how to eat **** without eating a lot of **** like gunz, so I could probably pull it in a few tries.

The only current pictures i have are about halfway through winter when everything was dead...but here goes...

These are the last three in the mainline. Picture was taken from the second in my lines lander.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/theAntidoteforLife/Wastetopia06Winterjunk.jpg

This is the second jump in the mainline. Basically a setup speed jump thing that you stay low on to get speed for the rest of the line. I think the lips are about 5 feet tall in the mainline. Gaps are like 10 feet.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/theAntidoteforLife/Wastetopia06Winter.jpg

This is pretty much the whole place. You can only really see the first small jumps. The middle line is mine. The dirt pile next to that left line is a hip that hadn't been packed yet.

Basically they are trash right now but it's been raining all day so far so hopefully this weekend i can put in some work and i'll get some current pictures of stuff when it's running. Maybe some riding pics in the next week or so.

Well i got bored. So here are some pictures of other sets of trails around here...

'Mythical snakebite trails' (Mude will know that that's from...) I have yet to ride these but they are my buddy Jame's trails...
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/theAntidoteforLife/Snakebite3.jpg

He can't take pictures...
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/theAntidoteforLife/Snakebitetrails2.jpg

'495 trails' Pretty old picture of the mainline there...
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/theAntidoteforLife/495.jpg

'Teds' Line at 495. These are really nice. I've only hit the first one so far cause it's smaller :)

Haha i like them. If you mixed those trails with Catty they would be perfect. Not that Catty isn't allready perfect. The pictures are enough to convince me.

Yeah they are a really nice set. I think a 12-pack. Some rollers and a hip are being added at the end. Unfortunatley alot of MTBers that suck ride them so come summertime they will ride and look like **** again. I'll have you know they are alot bigger in person. Lips gotta be at least 6ft. Gaps aren't too big but the lips go vert and are ridiculous. When and if i get the balls to try them i'll be sure to video tape myself dying.

dawg yeh get a video, those look pretty sick to ride. the ones that shoot u up are the ones that freak u out in the air.

03-16-07, 06:22 PM
thats how my buddies trails are. i love them cause you can just go soooo high and still have enough speed for the line.
KinetikBiker
03-16-07, 07:15 PM
Yeah they shoot you up pretty high now.

The mainline at me and mude's trails was similar to the ted's over the summer. They weren't as tall but they shot you up pretty good. But after a rainstorm they went to ****s. I'm hoping to make them pretty steep this season.

Here's a link to a trail jam they had back in '05. This was before the Teds got good:
http://www.dcstreet.com/video/495trailjam.mov
It will take awhile to load and the video is crappy but oh well. I'm not in it nor was i there and even if i was they wouldn't put me on camera...haha. Let me know if you wanna know who the riders are...

Too bad it's snowing. I wanted to dig this weekend.

Back on topic...

A few pics of today diggin'...

Gotta have the shovel shot:

Gotta love dumpster diving. Got us a free chair a few weeks back:
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/theAntidoteforLife/Junk.jpg

Went dumpster diving again and got this hella sweet packer roller thing!:
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/theAntidoteforLife/ROLLER.jpg

Making the mainline wider...looks like trash now but i'll get more pics as it progress:
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/theAntidoteforLife/Mainlinewideconstruction.jpg

Widened 2nd lander. Looks ok but not too hot. The tarps keep the water out of the middle since the line is underground a bit...:

haaahhaha, you make the funniest faces.

trails look dialed
mude
03-18-07, 08:46 PM
i'd take a picture of my trails but..
a) only one and half jumps is complete
b) the one completed jump is in the middle because i have no idea what i want to do to the first one till i figure out how ridiculous it is
c) even if i did take a picture you wouldnt be able to see the jump because it doesnt go above ground level

eventually i'll take a video.

its a 1.5 foot take off with about a.....10-14 foot gap. im actually not exagerating at all on this one.
the next jump after it is going to be a 5 foot tall take off with a 7ish foot gap, then another 3 of those, then a hip going into the mainline.

no idea what to do for the first jump though
mude
03-18-07, 08:52 PM
edit: the first line should say "line" not trails
premiumbmx2005
03-18-07, 08:54 PM
i would just do a super small jump with a big gap for the first one for speed.
mude
03-18-07, 08:56 PM
i thought of that, but its not ridiculous enough, maybe massive stepdown?
KinetikBiker
03-19-07, 05:58 AM
Mude...i've told you before definatley go with the steep as hell 4-5 foot take off with a really steep lander and like 10ish gap. It'll be crazy.
And weren't you going to hip your line into my line and not the mainline?

great pics! looks like a blast. (the potential for riding, not digging)

put that chair back...you don't know where it has been. yuck, might be from a nursing home where someone pissed themselves.

we threw out a few chairs contaminated with bodily fluids at our clinic once. there is probably like Hep B in the foam. http://forums.mtbr.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

I found an old Honda minibike that was thrown out once, all I needed to do for it was clean the carb and new plug/wire, fuel lines, and clean the filter. Ran for quite a while to.

This brings back memorys of 6 foot deep holes in your backyard. And hella tight berms out of rollin's that are made out of rotting log piles.

MX_59 - We found the chair in a dumpster across the street from the jumps. The people were throwing it out because their house is under crazy construction. It's clean...enough.

I am really impressed with the snag of the roller. Those things can cost $100 new.

Excellent looking jumps by the way, you should be pleased.

I just started the third takeoff in my new line today, i'll put up pictures once it's packed and shaped properly and the rest of the line doesn't look like poo.

Looks like a fun jump, steep landers are where it's at.
